If you're thinking of stealing his Fishbone Earring it might be possible since
its description doesn't say it is a magical item and that is, as I understand it,
the restriction on Pickpocketing. Magical items cannot be stolen. Now that I know
this I might give it a shot... But is is an Artifact so it might not work

Your faction standing with Merchants of Qeynos got worse.
Your faction standing with Circle of Unseen Hands got better.
Your faction standing with Antonius Bayle got worse.
Your faction standing with Coalition of Tradefolk got worse.
Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got worse.

He simply said he had yet to 'loot' an earing. Perhaps it dropped everytime and someone else looted it.

On that same token. I've seen Fippy at least a thousand times and have been unable to kill him even once!

I don't know about 99 kills, but on 7th Hammer I've killed him 22 times with no drop, and on Stromm, 7 kills and 6 drops. It may be just my luck, but over several years, I've come to expect drops on 7th to be annoying to the extreme, while on Stromm it's no problem.

EDIT: On the 24 kill it dropped on 7th
EDIT: 6 more 7th kills, no drop, 2 Stromm kills, 2 drops.

# Aug 15 2005 at 2:29 PM Rating: Good
I bump into him now and then, when I have business in Surefall, but so far he has never given up his earring for me in the 6+ years that I play now. He is on a timer of around 6 hours 20 minutes or some like that. This mob used to be camped like hell, I remember a time where Rangers had an advantage in kill-stealing this guy(sometimes there would be an actual crowd waiting for him, and once he spawned it was FFA...)because of their Trueshot Longbow, that had a couple of insta-cast Firenukes on them. That was long ago.

That all has changed and nowadays Hadden actually gets to his fishing most times, instead of ending up nose down in the dirt the moment he whips out his fishing rod. Soon, when even more Enduring Breath items will make it into the world, this NPC will be forgotten and newbies will consider him just another NPC, maybe hail him and then wander off, unaware of the strife and anticipation that he once caused in the old days of Norrath.

/salute Hadden.
KS-ing Hadden

Have never been KS-ed here, but it seems to me there is an easy solution for this. Just make the spawn time somewhat random. For example, a minimum of 2 hours but totally random after that. That would solve the problem of people putting a player there, then leaving them until time for the spawn. If a player is there, a simple query that goes unanswered or an AFK tag loses the camp as far as I am concerned. If they don't like it, then let them complain. If a player is patient enough to be there for the entire time, then they deserve the camp. But the "bookmark" axx-holes don't deserve it. Not that I feel very strongly about it... heh heh heh.

Hadden is not an 8 hour spawn...and since I am up to my eyeballs on two accounts worth of characters with Fishbone Earrings...I may as well share this. Once you kill Hadden, have a timer ready and set for 5 hours and 20 minutes. He will spawn at about that time within increments of 6 minutes (1 hour in EQ world clock time). Example: Battle begun, hit timer....kill hadden. Camp. Come back in 5 hours and 20 minutes...he will either be there (5 % of the time, OR you will be ready to kill him in approximately 6, 12, 18 or 24 minutes. The longest I have had to wait after the 5/20 timer was 36 minutes and once in a blue moon Hadden was waiting for me. Try this timer method sometime and soon you will be swimming in earrings, LOL

UPDATE, I sent my 34 (buffed) Barbarian beastlord and pet to go kill Hadden, but I was mezzed most of the time by Rephas. I guess the only way to have dealt with that is to bring along someone who could calm rephas before attempting to kill hadden. Hadden was light blue to my 34 as was Rephas. Oh and by the way, my 47 ikky monk got mezzed by rephas too, but only in a slightly anoying way. The mezzing of my 34 BST was tedious because I remained so...health never really going down, couldn't kill Hadden or Rephas while mezzed...sigh.

I just killed him after kiting him with my necro. He never touched water and dropped the earring anyway. Obviously, water has nothing to do with it.

If you somehow manage to get it everytime you kill him, you just must be really lucky. I've killed him numerous times over the past five years (both in and out of the water) and only just today got my first earring.

I just killed Hadden a few moments ago after waiting 4 hours for the spawn....No earring and thank god i had friends there because he was Regening like you wouldnt believe. Snared/Rooted him away from lake then Stinging Swarmed him and hit him for like 4-5 arrows for 30+ and he was regening just about as fast and as much as i was hitting him for. Anybody have any theories/similar experiences they can post? Thanks in Advance.

I'll add more to this as I camp him some more


EDIT (Killed Hadden at 10am July 11, 2004) He *DID* drop the Fishbone Earring and I've determined that his Regen was a normal thing. Did hit me in the 40's a few times and in the 50's once. Mostly in the teens and 20's. This confirms that he still drops the Earring

I don't want to take the faction hit for this guy's death, so I am going to see if I can use a handy-dandy regurgitronic on him.

If the above means nothing to you, I suggest you do an item search on the regurgitronic :-)

My 47 ikky monk finishes him off in about 40 seconds and Hadden tries to run away from him at 20%. My friend, a human monk says he doesn't run from him. Hadden hits between 3 hp to 56 hp per random hit. He wasn't very good at it, but I've seen 35ish druids run from him if they weren't prepared to dot/nuke him. Hope that helps.

a 35 rogue can't solo him, but a 41 can, lol. his spawn is atleast 110 minutes, seen it that quick-to at least 6 hours, camped him that long. I get about a 90% kill steal on him. /report and ?petition and nothing/ I have actually looted him 3 times and got nothing, not even his fishing pole. Coins.

Hadden hits in the teens and 20's. Not bad for a guy armed witha fishing pole. I have tanked him a few times before switching to nuking him with my druid alt. Be aware that he has an awesome regen rate.

Other things to conider as posted elsewhere in this board are Rephas and Axe will add the closer you are to Hadden's level. I have had to nearly kill a few PC's who got charmed by Rephas and attacked me.

Finally something that came up for the first time for me recently is KSing. Get oyu damage in early and fast. I used to root and dot Hadden with my druid. Twice lately I landed my root taking first damage and had just landed my first dot when Hadden was KS'd by higher level chars. Check the area while camping and if you see higher level chars call the camp. I have now shifted tactics to nuking trying to get that first 51% as quickly as possible.

Rephas was blue to my lvl 35 druid and he did come assist hadden when I took him on. Probably nothing a lull/harmony wouldn't cure though.

Tried again at lvl 38 with my druid. I was right. Harmony solved the assist problem.

I've been checking out the Hadden spawn for a little under a week now. It's frequently camped, and I hadn't seen him up at all. Last night I had a little free time, so I ran on over to QHills at about 6:30pm EST. After an hour of sitting around, you know, checking my e-mail and stuff, Hadden popped! I killed him, only to find no loot.
After reading posts here, I saw he's got a 5:20-5:40 spawn timer, so I went out for the evening. Came home around 12:30am, logged in, no one camping... so I sat there. At about 1:15am EST he popped again, killed him, VOILA! Fishbone Earring! After reading some of the stories about sitting there for hours and hours, i'm really lucky that i spent basically 2 hours in QHills and got the earring.

Been lookin for this guy on/off for a few days now. I don't want "a few" of these, I just want one, for me, thats it! Finally got the camp empty, so its been 2hrs & i'm still here. Hope I get one. With my luck someone who has the spawn timed will pop up when I go to the bathroom or something, kill him with one blow & be done with it.

--Edit--
OMG!! Well, what do ya know! After waiting for 4.5 hours, Bam! He popped, I noticed he was checking me out so, I walked over and flirted with him a bit, as I was told to do by a guildie (for luck). So, when I had him dazzled & confused, I kicked his big barbie behind & he gave me the earring!
Yay!!

I killed Haggen for the 3rd time last night. The first time I killed him he dropped the fishbone. I had to kill both Haggen and Rephas, which, I have to say, is not as easy as most would think.
I traded the fishbone for some other stuff from a friend.
The second time, Haggen did NOT drop the fishbone, but also, Rephas was NOT up when Haggen popped (I killed him to prevent another owning). I was quiet pissed with the no earring.
The 3rd time, I let Raphes survive the 5 hours I waited on Haggen, when he popped, I had to kill both Rephas and Haggen again. Tuff tag team there :P Sure enough, he dropped the fishbone this time.
Just my observations, but it seems when Rephas is up when Haggen spawns, he has the FBE.

Hate to break it to you, but I'm 90% sure that's a cut-and-paste. For starters you can see the blurring around the head, and furthermore, barbarian mob models just don't do that position in the game. The name is too high up as well.

Nice job though =)

I saw Hadden on track today and killed him and got the earring. There were ubers in the zone looking for him a couple minutes before and right after I killed him too. I guess my timing was perfect as they pretty much had the spawn rate figured out. If I hadn't been a ranger with track, I would never have spotted him. Score Rangers 1 other classes 0. :P

On the contrary patches are my best friend. I now have looted 4 earrings from our barbaric fisherman. The last three were directly the result of a patch. You see the timer resets with every patch. After the August 26th patch I got the earring on his second spawn (and my first camp). As soon as a patch runs I find out when it finished from those who play during the day and then chart his spawn times from there. I may have to wait for a camp to open up but I have a pretty reliable point to start my plot from.

I don't sit there and wait 5-6 hours for this guy to spawn but I do pop by occasionally to see if he's up. I've killed him 8 times in the last 2 weeks and have yet to see the earring. I've tried to pull him to the water like some people suggest. I've killed him on land. I root/rot him, I've nuked him, I've meleed him and have gotten 1 fishing pole, 2 words, and maybe enough copper to make 1pp, but no earring. I went and killed stuff, saved up 2K and bought a knotted turtlebone ring. It was faster that way. Good luck to everyone else trying to get the earring.
Camping him.

He doesn't always drop his earring. You could've done the Amulet of the Grey quest a million times over by the time the oh so rare spawn Hadden coughs up his EB item. Assuming you aren't KoS to the Conlegium of course.

Camping Rules

Been camping this guy for about 3 months now off and on. Sell the earring and then camp him again... When I first began camping him sometimes he was camped and sometimes not. Peeps were real nice and you could share info about when he popped etc. However, in the last month that has all changed. Now I go to the camp and there is almost always someone there with an afk message on. Today there was a guy FD...no afk message or anything. Is this considered camping him? I want to do what is right so just thought I would ask others how they see it. It is a long camp 5+ hours. What do you peeps out there think? Thanks for your thoughts :)

I've managed to get an earring for all of my characters except one, and he has eb on his guants so no big deal. I feel sorry for the poor slobs who park a toon there and walk away; quite a few times I've taken Hadden while someone was /afk at his spawn. If you intend to kill the guy for the earring you'd better make damn sure you're there when he spawns, most folks won't leave him just because you're standing there. If a mob is not engaged in combat then it is fair game, or at least that is how the GMs explain the rules. Call me a jerk for takin the guy while he was "camped", but too many times I've been engaged in combat with this guy and had some ass wizzy outnuke me to take the kill. /Finger to all you KSing wizzies out there, now I just cast a quick charm and you can't take him =).

I don't speak for Sony, but here's how I understand it... Sony doesn't recognize camps, and the GMs will tell you that whoever does first damage has rights to the mob. So, technically, if you're quick and do damage first, even if someone was waiting there, you're justified. However, the EQ community generally does recognize camps, and it's courteous to respect the rights of someone who's been waiting there for several hours.

If Hadden spawns and there's someone there camping but they are AFK, it would be courteous to wait a few minutes to see if they are going to attack. Send them a tell asking if they are going to kill Hadden. If they don't respond in a few minutes, go ahead and kill him. No sense in just sitting there and letting him despawn. (I've heard, but not confirmed, that Hadden despawns after 15-20 minutes if he's not killed.)

Just my 2cp.

Someone is always there now, like you say, AFK or FD. Obviously they were at the last spawn and have an alarm or something set for near his spawn time.

If I was to come along and see such a person, with Hadden then popping, I'd probably take him. I really don't see how you can claim a mob known to pop every five and a half hours plus just by hanging around in the area doing nothing.

I've never found it worth it to camp him for five hours myself, I just happen by sometimes.

If he isn't engaged, it isn't ksing.

According to several GM's I and my guildmate's have spoken with the concept of camping is a social courtesy set up by the community of players. There is no rule by SonyEQ regarding camps. The only 'rule' is whoever (group or individual) does more than 50% dmg to the mob gets to loot it.

This has lead to a few interesting camps of Lodizal in Icelad Ocean. 3 groups from 3 different guilds all standing around the spawn point waiting for the pop. Whichever group does the most damage before Lodizal dies gets looting rights.

Actually the rule by Sony at least now is first to engage has rights to the mob.

That is a "gentlemen's agreement" based on fair play. However, the only hard rule is that only the player or group who causes the most damage gets the experience, and therefore the ability to loot first. I do not think Sony has any way to enforce "politeness", and although I would be awfully angry if I had camped five hours waiting for a mob to spawn, only to have it grabbed by someone who just happens along, I could only be angry at myself....
1) For not being faster than the other player.
2) For not then engaging and doing more damage, thereby winning the right to loot. (I'm sorry, if I had camped it, I sure would try to drop it first, call me rude then.)

No that is part of Sony's PNP(Play Nice Policy) and for most mobs the GM's will interviene. The once took the Geo camp away from people exping and gave half the mobs to a level 65 @#%^. The only mob that I know the whoever does more damage wins is Lodi. But having to call in 8 level 65's to kill a super easy mob to prove a point to a guild is just fun :D

Uh... I think that he meant that during the times that he wasn't actually camping (meaning killing Hadden) that he left his toon there to log the kill times. You can clearly see in his post the times that he exchanged camping priviledges with other people. Personally, I thought his post was one of the most informative ones I've seen here. Looks like the laugh's on you, Pennysiln.
Spawn Skipping

I was camping Hadden and I had the timer down pretty well. I had killed him at 6:17pm, got the earring yay, then again at 11:35pm, no earring, then again at 5:01am, got the earring, then I come back to kill him early at like 10:15am cause he spawns at 10:30am and he never spawned. He skipped that spawn I believe, maybe he will spawn again at 4:00pm, I'll have to find out. I've never heard of spawns being skipped before and the server was not reset between 5am and 10am either. Hrmmmmm.

I was runnging around Qeynos Hills with my new Rogue alt today and went over to Hadden's spot to see who all was there. To my surprise I got there and no one was there, did a /who on the zone and there were only 2 other peeps in the zone both waaaaayyyyy under level to take him, so i decided to load up my warrior (lvl 31) to take him out and possibly get the earring. Well I hadn't tried to take him out in like 1 and a half years so i couldn't remember what level he was. I got my warrior there and saw he was dark blue, Axe was lightblue and Rephas was lightblue as well. So i crossed my fingers and hoped (not) to die! About 5 seconds into the fight i realised i had made a mistake as Rephas had already slowed me down (why oh why did i lend my FBSS to my rogue) and cast something else on me that i can't remember. With all 3 of them beating me down I was down to about 1 bubble of life in a matter of about 1 minute, then Rephas did something that I will be forever gratefull to him for. He charmed me!! The beatings ended and I just sat there and waited for charm to wear off. When it did, I logged on my friends 51 druid and smoked Hadden in about 30 seconds. And no earring! If i had died and then found out he DIDN'T have the earring, I am pretty sure I would have slammed my head through the screen on my monitor!

How would you recommend a level 35 Cleric attempting to solo this guy? I don’t have harmony but I do have Sooth and Atone. My DD spell dose about 200- 220 Dmg. So, any ideas?

I have taken down Hadden numerous times with my paladin from levels 32 to 40. The first time I tried Hadden was Dk Blue to me and I went witha straight forward attack. I died when Rephas and Axe joined in the fun. Lesson learned if you are anywhere near Haddens level the other NPCs add. So now I sit camping with Rephas targeted. Hadden pops. Sooth Rephas and engage Hadden. Axe only adds if Rephas does. I tend to use my standard Bash/Stun/Taunt routine on Hadden even now at 41 just for the practice.

OBTW I have now looted 4 earrings. Sold one in bazaar for 3000pp on the 7th Hammer.

After looking up the earring and where to find it, I decided to try my luck. I ran out and set up camp at 5:43. At 5:53, there pops Hadden, and he had my very own EB item just waiting to be looted. Happy SK >D. No KSers, no long waits, and he even dropped fast. Plus my pet was soloing Axe. From the sounds of it none of this is normal, and everyone knows what Sk pets are like. Ok, so I had to *help* Ganer out a little, but he didn't die!

Katta decided they would hate me before I ever set foot on Luclin, and I think this is a great alternative for those who haven't the proper faction to try the quest. Good thing the Rallic pack is tradeable... Well, best of luck to you all. I wish I could convince Hadden to be as generous to everyone.

I was blurry eyed and bored after camping Hadden for about 4 hours when all of a sudden POP there's a kilt... WOOT! I jump up, target, cast snare and start nuking. WTF! nothing is happening...petition, PETITION! Then I realize the spelling of the name Haddren, not Hadden. Type /who...Haddren = lvl 1 barbarian. Some funny guy made up this character then camped it where Hadden spawns. Kinda funny now, but at the time I wasn't amused as I wasted half my mana trying to kill the darned guy!

Hanns Krieghor, or however you spell his name, is in the rogue guild in Qeynos. To get there, you walk through a picture in a back room of Crow's Bar, then follow the hallway until you see two torches on your right. Do NOT go forward here, or you will fall into a pit trap. Instead, walk through the wall between the two torches and proceed through there to reach the rogue guild. Hanns should be standing right there in front of the guild's emblem. Note that when I tried to say the line to him to raise faction while sneaking, he told me my faction wasn't good enough... so you need amiable faction for him to respond, assuming that this even raises faction anymore. I would just recommend going to West Karana and killing bandits, brigands, and any farmers that con KoS. These all raise faction with the Circle.

You can't time a spawn by looking at it once like that. You must have many many spawns and the times at which they came because there is no exact spawn time. It's around 5 hours 20-40 minutes as far as I can tell, might even be 5:50 sometimes...

So i was in Q Hills, chillin with a friend at zoneline to SFG, when all of a sudden Hadden is on track, friend goes LD so i shoult i'm taking hadden, i run over, hes there, i snare him, his brother and axe dude agro, they start pwning me, HAdden's bro mezzes me and they cut agro. I back off, get more mana, harmony his bother.

Then i pull hadden, axe dude comes up, i kill him, then snare fades, Hadden comes, got this dmg absorb (crazy dmg absorb =)). So he starts pwning me, i run to zone, all of a sudden, bam, hes not on track. I think he de-spawned.

Word to the wise - IF ur gonna take him , HARMONY his bro and the axe dude first =). BTW, he is on a 5 and one half hour spawn rate, i confirmed this. GL getting earring.

[q] Got the earring and i just sat my char there with AFK message saying i was camping Hadden, came back in 5 hours no one and tried to take camp, guess i'm lucky. He is a 5 hour and 30 min spawn by the way. He poped in 30 mins, killed him and dropped earring. So he dropped 3 earrings in a row and i got 2 of them, not bad. you don't need to sit around a lot in front of the computer for this quest just park your char at camp and leave worked for me.

Hehe one prob, they are lore. You have a few alts there to loot them?
